If you had not spurned my generous offers of marriage, I would have gotten you a new machine as part of the dowrey. :) :)

I hate to tell you, but it was the WOMAN’S family who put up the dowry.
Historically speaking.

But what the hey!
Throw in a new dryer and you may get some movement in the “negotiations”.
